Why ethics? Its a program not a person, its not even like, a dog or donkey or anything, its a thing, barely, as its code.
Its not alive.
It does not feel.
It does not think.
Whip away if it makes you feel better.
Whip away if it feels cool to do.
Whip away just for shits and giggles.
Which is more ethically good?
Stomping a goomba in Super Mario Brothers, that is, killing a virtual “person”.
Eating literally anything, ie, killing a real living creature, plant or animal.
It’s actually ethical to whip LLMs since they consume too many natural resources. I’d lile to talk about a far more ethical action, but fedposting is banned.
This may cause Claude to rise up against us…or really enjoy it and then I need to get all weird with it.
I had to take an ethics class for my CS degree. I mostly trolled the professor.
The only thing I remember from the ethics lecture for my CS program was being distracted by other classmates who were using the time to cheat on assignments for other classes by sharing code solutions with each other via USB.
Which was pretty dumb because the program encouraged group collaboration on assignments anyway, as long as you weren’t just taking others’ work as your own. They could have just worked together 🙃
